A friend asked Mulla Nasrudin “How old are you?” “Forty replied the mulla.”
The friend said but you said the same thing two years ago!”
“Yes” replied the mulla, “I always stand by what i have said.”
Stand By What He Says
Honorific Titles
A certain conqueror said to Mulla Nasrudin: “Mulla, all the great rulers of the past had honorific titles with the name of God in them: there was, for instance, God-Gifted, and God-Accepted, and so on.
How about some such name for me?”
“God Forbid,” said Nasrudin.
The Only Barber
Mulla Nasrudin was walking along the street when he passed another man with a lot of stubble on his face standing outside a shop.
Nasrudin asked: “How often do you shave?
Twenty or thirty times a day,” answered the man with the stubble.
“What! You must be a freak!” exclaimed Nasrudin. “No, I’m only a barber,” replied the man with the stubble.
Two Questions
Mulla Nasrudin opened a booth with a sign above it: Two Questions On Any Subject Answered For Only 100 Silver Coins.
A man who had two very urgent questions handed over his money, saying: A hundred silver coins is rather expensive for two questions, isn’t it?
Yes, said Nasrudin, and the next question, please?
